Micromelum is a genus of eight species of flowering plants in the family Rutaceae.
M. minutum is used as a traditional medicine in Fiji, and in Malaysia it is used to treat fever and ringworm. M. integerrimum has been used in China to treat dysentery and arthritis.
The chemistry of these plants has been studied, with several known and new coumarins isolated. One such coumarin from M. integerrimum, micromelin, appears to have anticancer properties.
